The Atomic Fallout Society with David Sabal, Brian Smith, Chris Lilagan and Tony Sabal

After an extended hiatus, Atomic Fallout Society IS BACK! Brian, Chris, and Dave return in a new recording location, maybe future Abnormal Studios, and bring the hate and confusion. Three weeks have passed, and the boys waste no time but jump right into the deep end. Brian brings in Hinterkind #3 from Vertigo Press. Brian brought the 1st issue of Hinterkind awhile back, but does the title continue to roll, or does it stop dead on the train tracks? Written by Ian Edginton with art by Francesco Trifogli, a lot of comic trolls have accused this title of being Saga light, but what does The Beard of Steel say? Up next is Fluffer, aka Chris, as he brings the swan song of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato from the Flash title, Flash Zero Year. Does this Zero Year tie-in to the team justice? Well in the end of everything Chris gained the title of C.T.B., want to know what that stands for? Up last is Dave bringing us another swan song to the DC writers pool. Geoff Johns' run in Aquaman comes to a climactic end in Aquaman #25. Did Johns fulfill his goal of bringing another low level superhero up a notch? Or did Dave find some holes in the ship that was Aquaman? Rounding up the last half of the show, it's Chris' 2nd chance of redemption at claiming the industry news segment of the show. The boys discuss what's been missed the last three weeks and finish up with thoughts on the latest casting choices for the next round of Superheroes and Super heroines. It's ATOMIC FALLOUT SOCIETY TIME, DID JA MISS US? (On a side note, Atomic Fallout Society is lookin' for a new theme song. If you feel you got some Atomic talent hit the boys up on their facebook site and message 'em for more info.) To listen, click here. To download, right click and "Save As..."

What's this? It's Atomic Fallout Time! The show starts off with David talking bout history's Lewis and Clark... Hold your snooze alarms. Image Comics brings us Manifest Destiny #1 from writer Chris Dingess and artist Matthew Roberts. It's an Image Comic #1 tale about the secret mission of Lewis and Clark. Brian follows up with a look at Batman 25 from the all-star team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. Zero Year continues on track as the story talks 'bout Batsy, Alfred, and Gordon before they ruled Gotham. What's Captain Talent's thoughts? Fluffer, aka Chris, finishes us off proper with Superman/Wonder Woman #2. Charles Soule and Tony S. Daniel continue the story of Supes and Diana's relationship as Clark meets his future in-laws. But is this a "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" take on Superhero relations saved by the return of an old Superman villain? You will all kneel! Speaking of villains, the boys decide to continue the segment left to them by the former Captain. It's time to ask "What Have We Learned?" This time, the boys tackle the beginning of DC's Villains Month and finish it up by asking questions of Marvel's Battle of the Atom. It's ATOMIC FALLOUT SOCIETY KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

Nine out of ten geeks agree, IT'S ATOMIC FALLOUT TIME! The guys get off to a fast start as Chris brings us CATACLYSM: THE ULTIMATES' LAST STAND #1. Ultimates forefathers Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley bring us the final chapter to the Marvel Ultimates Universe. Has Galactus come, or is this just another Age of Ultron? Chris scores well, and finally upgrades to a higher lvl of Fluffer... and in other news, David brings us the return of the fan favorite X-man, Nightcrawler in Amazing X-Men #1. Does death continue to be mocked in comics, or did the team of Jason Aaron an Ed Mcguinness pay there respects to the dearly revived? Brian rounds up the reviews with and Image #1 in Alex + Ada, a futuristic take on human society with a special twist. Did it please the Beard of Steel, or does this Image title fall flat? It's a reboot of an old Atomic Fallout segment, Speculator's Corner. With the absent Captain, it's up to the Beard of Steel as he brings us his "Collector's Corner". Brian takes a look at the rising prices of certain Image number ones, and of course, he has to throw in a couple Superman titles as well as a quick look at a story arc that might see a resurgence soon thanks to the upcoming Thor movie.

It's Halloween, and The Atomic Fallout Society has got some treats for the masses. Or is it a trick? Brian kicks things off with the much anticipated Sandman Overture by Neil Gaiman and J.H. Williams III. Fans have been waiting for the return of Dream of the Endless. Does the title score as one of the tops or does it fall flat? Diaper, aka Chris Lilagan, brings us a tale from Hellraiser courtesy of Boom Studios. Hellraiser 2013 Annual #01 from Clive Barker, Mark Miller and artists Janusz Ordon, Jesus Hervas. The creative teams bring us two separate tales of terror from the forgotten horror franchise. David finishes it off with the title that made him sick for the first time in Atomic Fallout history; Crossed Badlands #40 from Avatar Press. The team of David Hine and German Erramouspe continue the mayhem of Crossed in Crossed Badlands. Did it go too far, or was it just the story that pushed David over the edge? The boys finish up the Halloween Special with a look at the Horror genre in comics and discuss what does make a Horror comic and what makes a good one. Brian educates us on a little background of the old comics code, and the boys give a last minute treat by plugging their choice for best comic based on Halloween. What is it? Find out?

The boys are back for more please...? The show kicks off with Brian bringing another Image #1 to the table in Pretty Deadly from the creative team of Kelly Sue Deconnick and Emma Rios.

Dave brings in another nostalgia piece in the new Samurai Jack comic from IDW and Cartoon Network. Samurai Jack and the Threads of Time #1 from Jim Zub and Andy Suriano. Does it do the series justice or does it belong in the forgotten box of doom, WAHCAH!

Atomic Fallout Society RISE UP! Episode 103 kicks off with David reviewing/spoiling a book from Boom Studios in IMAGINE AGENTS #1 from creator Brian Joines and artist Bachan.

Chris gets downgraded from Nozzle Lvl to Funnel Lvl by decree of Professor Smith. He makes up for it by bringing to the table Rogues' Rebellion #1 from Flash writer/artist Brian Buccellato and artist Patrick Zircher.

This week, we welcome back David Sabal... and find Tony Sabal missing. Actually, he's off prepping for the big 100th episode, so we have Dave, Brian Smith and returning guest Chris Liligan back to review a very big week for comic books. Dave reviews the first issue of Marvel's latest storyline, Battle of the Atom, and they do a "retake" of Days of Future Past. You think the X-Men learned for time travel and the crap it brings? Chris reviews one of the Villain titles from DC, Justice League with Darkseid. We get a backstory showing the rise of Darkseid, which may lead to something bigger in the future for this Dark New God. Finally, Brian reviews the big one from DC, Forever Evil and the return of the Crime Syndicate of America. Lots of questions will start to be answered beginning with this one. With the return of Dave, we have industry news which will be interesting, since Tony's not around to make sure the show doesn't go to hell. The guys also go into a very important discussion of a very special indie project that's coming up... The Atomic Fallout Society... two more episodes to 100, so hang on for your dear life.

First of all, this is Episode 96. Despite what you may hear in this episode, we had a serious brain fart, and this IS episode 96. Dave is out this week and may be out for some time, because he apparently lost the ability to walk in step... stay tuned on that front. In his place, we replaced him this week with another Filipino in order to maintain the majority, and that Filipino is Chris Lilagan! Chris starts his indoctrination by reviewing the 2nd issue of Batman '66. It's not bad for the first review, but according to Brian, it's not his first attempt at an AFS review. Tony reviews... or tries to review that latest Daredevil issue from Mark Waid. Just pick up this title... period. Brian reviews the 1st issue of Batman Beyond Universe which also includes the Justice League Beyond team. Very solid book. This week also brings us the latest Educating The Masses, and this week, Brian introduces us to "Flash: Rebirth". He's more than just a really, really fast guy as there's more to the Flash than meets the eye. The Atomic Fallout Society... fighting the man by making sure Filipinos dominate this show.

It's a brand new day for The Atomic Fallout Society. Off they are going... as the former Captain would say. With no voice of reason to steer the ship, will the new Atomic Fallout Society crew be able to lead the way? David brings us Shaolin Cowboy #1 from Dark Horse Comics and sees a series that has potential. The new Filipino Chris brings us the shortest review in Atomic history in Rocket Girl, but don't worry, he has a VERY special hazing review by the end. Brian again tackles a Superman title, but this one was highly anticipated, Superman/Wonder Woman #1. Does the Beard of Steel like this romance comic for the man of steel, or will it spell doomsday for Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship? The boys round it off with a birds and bees talk in comics and ask the multi-million dollar question... is sex in comics a good thing? It's THE Atomic Fallout Society... still two Filipino strong, but with that new podcast smell... To listen, click here. To download, right click and "Save As..."

A new era begins for The Atomic Fallout Society with episode 101 as Tony Sabal announces his temporary departure from the show to tend to other business and personal matters. But let's face it, 100 shows will do that to you. But not to worry as our good friend Chris Lilagan steps in to join the AFS crew on a regular basis. For this show, Tony, Dave, Brian and Chris all participate in what turns out to be a more "raw" version of the AFS. Chris leads off by reviewing the latest Green Lantern that starts off the "Lights Out" storyline. Chris is a BIG Green Lantern fan... and needless to say, this issue leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Not a good way to start off your AFS run. Tony's final review for AFS (for now) is Captain America: Living Legend # 1. Solid story that even has the feel of the Captain America movie. Brian reviews Hinterkind... it's a DC Vertigo book, so it's going to be really, really trippy. Lastly, Dave reviews THE Star Wars. This isn't the Star Wars that you're used to. This one was based on George Lucas' initial rough draft of the story, so it's going to make your head explode... like Dave's. As a final sendoff, Tony asks the AFS crew, what have we learned from Marvel Now and any other items that we have learned from the new DC 52? The Atomic Fallout Society... wait until you get a load of what's in store for the next several shows. To listen, click here. To download, right click and "Save As..."
